Chelsea are prepared to move for Pedro having looked into signing the Barcelona winger, however Jose Mourinho will only look to sign him if one of his existing options departs.

Chelsea's current squad could well be depleted before the end of the transfer window, with Mourinho prepared to let Juan Cuadrado depart. The Colombian, signed in January for £26.1m, made only four Premier League starts last season and has failed to make much of an impression at Stamford Bridge. Juventus, Roma and Inter Milan are all keen on the former Fiorentina player.

Mourinho has indicated he is not in the market for any new additions to his team - but would be if someone goes.

Mourinho said: "The market is open but wingers - I have Eden Hazard, Willian, Bertrand Traore, Victor Moses and Cuadrado. To go for somebody it's because I lose somebody.

"If I lose somebody, it's not because I want somebody in. It's because somebody wants to leave and because somebody brings the perfect offer for Chelsea to accept. At the moment I have five and I'm not going for a sixth."
